PROMARK SETS FIRE TO THE STATUS QUO In 2017, Promark by D’Addario turned up the heat and set fire to the industry with the launch of its most durable line of hickory drumsticks to date — FireGrain™. At its sawmill in the heart of the Appalachian region in Tennessee, D’Addario’s in- house engineering team patented a revolutionary flame tempering process that transforms ordinary hickory drumsticks into precision tools with unprecedented durability. Combined with our advanced sorting technique that selects only the most premium hickory dowels, FireGrain reduces stick pair variation to an indiscernible 6 grams, making it the most durable and consistent hickory drumstick line in the industry. To continue the success of Promark’s ActiveGrip™ series, our heat-activated drumstick coating has extended its line to include the evergreen Classic 7A, 5A, and 5B models. This technology is also available on the new Stephen Creighton Pipe Band Signature Stick, replacing the need for stick wrap as a much-needed solution to the community-wide problem. Now pipe band drummers all over the world have more products that are Built To Compete and stand up to the rigorous demands of modern, championship winning corps like Stephen Creighton and St. Laurence O’Toole. Developed with artist, educator and Houston Symphony percussionist Matthew Strauss, our new and highly acclaimed concert percussion implements propel the aspiring percussionist and symphony professional further than ever before. The Matthew Strauss Concert General drumstick redefines versatility with a unique, elongated tip shape for unprecedented control and full-bodied tone at all dynamic levels, while the Staccato model is the only concert implement that utilizes a nylon-injected tip, creating a bright tone and rhythmic clarity at soft dynamics. Looking forward to 2018, Promark has reimagined their entire mallet manufacturing process. Shelving outdated practices like nailing cores to shafts and faulty winding procedures, our in-house engineering team leveraged D’Addario’s string winding expertise and injection molding capabilities while implementing aerospace methodology to redefine durability, playability, and consistency for mallet percussionists. Stay tuned to learn more about the new SPYR line of Promark mallets, and see why players across the globe are clamoring to get their hands on a pair. 136 TOP SELLERS & MUST HAVES FIREGRAIN ACTIVEGRIP Classic, Rebound, SIGNATURE and Forward Balance Rebound and See pages 138-140 Forward Balance See pages 138-140 AMERICAN AMERICAN HICKORY HICKORY Rebound and Classic Forward Balance See pages 138-140 See pages 138-140 SHIRA AMERICAN KASHI HICKORY OAK Natural See pages 144-146 See pages 138 & 140 AMERICAN AMERICAN MAPLE HICKORY Long See page 150 See pages 138 & 139 ALTERNATIVE MARCHING SOUND SOURCES DRUMSTICKS & See page 147 MALLETS See page 153-157 BAND & ORCHESTRA ACCESSORIES DRUMSTICKS & See pages 151-152 & 164 MALLETS See page 159 137 DRUM SET DRUMSTICKS PROMARK AMERICAN HICKORY Because of its resilience, responsiveness, and durability, hickory is the most commonly used wood for the classic drumstick feel.
